Yeah, but my question is why.  Like, I suppose I would expect that
somewhere in the stack between the debuginfod code and the main loop is
some bit of infrun that suppresses pagination.  But why isn't there, and
should there be?

It's fine if the answer is no, it just surprises me a bit that this is
happening.  After all the other symbol readers print things to stdout,
so presumably this could affect those as well.

If clearing pagination_enabled results in paging, then that sounds like
a serious bug.  Looking at the code I don't see how it can happen.
Could you track it down?
